Are These Good?

[joelorigo]

I got a recommendation on this board a while back to get a certain 3DPT footswitch that Small Bear sells and since then I haven't had one issue with a bad switch. They are currently out of stock on the PCB pin version, so are these good?

And what's the pros & cons on the 1kg vs 3kg Click?

They’re good. I prefer heavy click.

 

[joelorigo]

Does one need to use a lighter foot on the 1kg version, for fear of damaging it?

No, they are just as durable. It just takes less pressure to actuate the switch. I too prefer the heavy click ones.

I’m the opposite and like the soft ones most of the times. I would be down with putting the heavier one in “always on” boxes.

Stompboxparts has all top quality stuff so you probably won't go wrong there. As an alternative, I use these from LoveMySwitches. They are outstanding for both quality and very low actuation force: https://lovemyswitches.com/pro-3pdt-latched-foot-switch-solder-lugs-feather-soft-click/

I use them in all my TB builds now.

I use both the Stomp Box Parts and Love My Switches 3PDTs in all of my builds... The Stomp Box Parts ones already have a nice metal o-ring already included, and that's an "extra" on the Love My Switches ones... but LMS is local to me, so stuff gets here really fast...

(BTW - Welcome to the party Bean!)

He's just ONE bean

And my favorite bean. Although, Charro beans is pretty damn delicious. Damn it… I’m hungry for Charro beans now

 

[Feral Feline]

Bean there, done that.


Bienvenue!

The ONE TIME I forget to punctuate properly and it lives on in infamy.....geeez.....

(I'm gonna go mind my P's and Q's now.....and count my beans.......)

 

[HamishR]

Now we're all has beans. Both good and sad simultaneously.

And to hell with punctuation. This is the internet godammit!

You guys are being too nice. I'll think of something controversial to post so everyone can shun me.
